Chapter 20: Eating Noodles
"Grandma, grandpa, you drink saliva first and rest for a while." Zhiqi handed the kettle to the two old men.
"Eh, I'll drink it." Grandma Fang responded and took the kettle.
Seeing that the two old men were resting, Zhiqi went over to tidy up the ox cart with Father Fang.
"Grandpa, let's go back after we have dinner at the temple fair." Zhihua saw that everyone was very tired after a busy day. If you go home hungry now, your body won't be able to stand it. So he proposed to Grandpa Fang,
Grandpa Fang listened to his granddaughter's words, and then looked at his son and daughter-in-law, who were indeed tired and ruthless. So he nodded his head too. "That'll do. Looking for a restaurant for you and Zhiqi? We'll go back after we've eaten. ”
"Yay!" When I heard about it, I was going to eat at the temple fair. A cheer of excitement.
"Okay, listen to Daddy." Father Fang responded with a smile.
I didn't go to any big restaurants, so we found a noodle restaurant facing the street.
"Hey, guest officers, what do you want to eat?" As soon as he entered the door, the little second brother greeted him warmly.
The children were all going to the restaurant for the first time, and they were a little restrained, and they all followed the adults quietly without talking. Of course, Zhihua is an exception. But she didn't speak now, she was busy looking at the noodle shop at the moment. This is a real ancient shop, so of course you have to take a good look at it now when you have the opportunity.
"We haven't been to your store. I don't know what you have here? Tell us about it. Daddy Fang said to the guy.
"Okay. I see that there are a lot of people here, so you might as well go and sit at the big table in the corner over there. The child pointed to a large table in the corner.
"It's fine." Father Fang helped Grandpa Fang, Zhiqi helped Grandma Fang, and Grandma Fang led a few children, and everyone went to the big table and sat down together.
"Guest, we have a wide variety of noodles here, shredded pork noodles, ramen, yakisoba, braised noodles, you name it. There are those with meat sauce, those without meat sauce, and clear soup. Of course, this price is also different. 12 cents for a large bowl; Eleven pennies in the middle bowl; Ten cents for a small bowl. This meat sauce is five pennies a piece. ”
"Why is it so expensive?" Grandma Fang listened to the offer of the little second brother and gasped. You must know that they don't need a few hundred dollars a year in the countryside. When you get to the city, why don't you eat a bowl of noodles and count it up for ten cents. Isn't that the same as robbing someone?
"Grandma, that's how prices look in the city. Look at the maintenance cost of the tables and chairs in this shop, and the wages of the second brother. Doesn't it all have to come out of this? So it's normal for this side to be a little more expensive. Zhihua explained aloud.
"That's the same reason." Grandma Fang listened to Zhihua's words and thought that this was really the case.
"A few guest officers have discussed, what are we all eating?" The little second brother saw that the old lady of the family was appeased, so he asked.
"That's it, little brother. We all want big bowls of ramen, let's have seven bowls of ramen. "Daddy Fang ordered.
"No, little second brother. Five bowls of ramen with bolognese. The remaining two bowls are not added. Grandpa Fang ordered again.
"Daddy, what are you doing here?"
"Silly boy. Your aunt and I are old and don't need to eat meat. But you're still young. Look at how tired Cui Niang and the children are. You should eat some meat to make up for it. Grandpa Fang looked at Father Fang and spoke seriously.
"Your dad is right. Yes, you can't treat your daughter-in-law and baby badly. We're two old bones. What hasn't been eaten yet. Don't spend those two dollars. Grandma Fang patted Daddy Fang's hand.
"Daddy, Auntie." Daddy Fang's tears were about to fall.
Everyone's hearts are also uncomfortable. The old people are too considerate of the younger generations.
"Auntie! Don't do that. You and my daddy eat with meat sauce. Youwei and I are still young. Nothing without this meal. Fang A-Niang took Grandma Fang's hand and persuaded.
"Alright. They all eat meat. Seeing that everyone excused each other, Zhihua made a decision for everyone.
"Yes, listen to my little sister." Zhiqi wiped his tears and nodded.
"Hmm. Listen to my little sister. Zhiqin echoed.
"Okay, okay, just listen to the children." Grandma Fang tugged at Grandpa Fang, "Old man." I finally got off the restaurant. Let's both enjoy it once. ”
"Okay, just listen to the old woman." Grandpa Fang nodded, and said to the little second brother again. "Little second brother, here are seven large bowls of ramen with meat sauce."
"Okay. Seven large bowls of ramen with meat sauce. ”
